Ghostly image? or non-ghostly reflection?

OK, time to put on your thinking caps on. We have a picture of 2 young girls posing in front of a campfire, someone taking their picture using a cellphone and what appears to be a ghostly image of third person in the shot.

Right off the bat, I notice that the pose of the “ghost” seems to be that of a kneeling photographer.

IMAGINE the shock a Stevenston mum got when a photograph of her daughters appeared to have an extra person in it.

Charlene Wieringa is the latest Three Towns resident to have one of her pictures occupied by a ‘ghostly’ figure.

Her partner Scott Arthur took the photo on his mobile phone and it shows Courtney (12) on the right with little sister Elise (5).

Charlene said: “We were down at the beach because some friends of ours had come over with their camper van. We had a bonfire and Scott took a picture of the girls and we didn’t notice anything.

“It wasn’t until later when Scott was going through his phone deleting pictures that he came across it again and we thought we could see something.

“Scott thinks it’s smoke from the fire but the girls and I think it looks a bit like a Scottish soldier. We’d be interested to hear what other people think.”

Several people from the local area have contacted the Herald with similar pictures that feature uninvited guests in the background.

Herald reporter Fiona Simpson even went out on a ‘ghost hunt’ at Ardrossan South Beach one night and there were some interesting results. The video from that evening can still be seen on our website under the World of the Weird section.

What can you see in Charlene’s photograph? Does it look like a Scottish soldier or can you see something else? The photo was taken a few months ago just off Stevenston point at the beach.
